Ready for an amazing year of events?

I know I am!

Leander & Cedar Park Pride Fest

Leander & Cedar Park Pride Fest is back and bringing big joy to the ‘burbs.

This party serves up a full afternoon of high-energy performances, local vendors and food trucks with a fun zone for kids and a boozy one for adults – all drenched in rainbow realness. We’ll be turning the park into a dance floor with upbeat music, joyful chaos, and all the chosen-family vibes to remind everyone that Pride doesn’t stop at city limits.

Come loud, proud and as you are—this party’s for you.

This event is free! We always appreciate registration to help with our headcount and donations that make everything possible.

Big Ole Queer Market ATX 2026

History behind the Big Ole Queer Market:

Gratien Jamail started in 2022 with a dream and a mission, and our first expo was in June of 2023!
Since our community often struggles to access affordable opportunities, we put vendors first in all decisions, with the goal of providing better opportunities for our community. Unfortunately, most cities’ “official” Pride celebrations charge artists and vendors $675 (sometimes more) just to have a small booth for a few hours. These events are often outdoors in the hottest time of the year.
Our expo is organized by a small queer team, with small queer owned businesses in mind. We wanted an event that’s big, accessible, indoors with AC, inclusive, and affordable, and now we have it twice a year in Austin (currently expanding to other major cities)!
